Thread: What machine tool for this job

You could do it with an electric hand plane, or get someone to do it on their jointer.

That could be done on a table saw.

Always make a pattern first to get all
the angles right.


Like so:

As its on the floor you will need a moderately hard wood - Tas Oak, aka victorian or mountain ash, is suitable and honey coloured.

Any joinery will be able to supply the wood and cut it to the specifications needed, painlessly and risk free. Papa's right; cut a pattern or profile first to ensure that it fits perfectly. You could do this from a piece of 35 x 70 mm, or so, plywood or chipboard - you just need to get an accurate side-on profile, and then check it fits the entire tile/carpet join.

After the profile is cut then I suggest that you give it several coats of clear polyurethane, sanding lightly between coats, before you install it. Its much easier to 'paint' it before installation and no risk of getting polyurethane on the carpet.
